With a pricetag as heft as the one the NSX carries, you’d think that it’d be very hard for someone to modify one poorly, considering the bankroll they must have at their disposal. But as has been proven time and time again, money does not buy taste or style. The NSX I have for [...]

Yesterday at the Fuji Speedway’s first day of testing was dominated by the almighty Nissan GT-R, however today was a totally different story with the top two times being posted by Honda NSXs, from the Epson and Raybrig teams respectively.

Apparently it’s already on sale in Japan (though I can’t confirm this as I have extreme difficulties reading Japanese, as is the language of their parent website), it’s [...]

So I just left my annoyingly-cramped and non-airconditioned room in Johor Bahru so I could head over to City Square and grab some grub for dinner; nourishment which ended up being a rather good plate of carrot cake from one of the vendors in the food court on level five.
It seems that every time I [...]
